Reinhold Curicke (12 January 1610 – 2 April 1667) was a jurist and historian from Danzig (Gdańsk) who specialized in the history of the city, including its past as principal city of province of Royal Prussia in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.[1] and its connections with Hanseatic merchant organization.
In 1645, Curicke published a German language four-volume work: Der Stadt Danzig historische Beschreibung .... This historical description of Danzig was the first [2] monograph about the city. It covers the origins of the city, its government, wars and religious history.
His son, Georg Reinhold Curicke, commissioned a posthumous publication with copper etchings to illustrate the history were printed in 1687 in Danzig and Amsterdam. [3]
